A por tus amores fui - I Went for Your Loves

A por tus amores fui Mañanitas alegres, dulces recuerdos, que donde preso estoy solo me quedan mis sentimientos. A buscarte fui, tempranito, y en aquel ribazo tu amante estaba. No pude por menos que imaginarme lo que haría aquella mañana. Sin sentirlo me fui a verlo y sin saberlo muerte le di. Así mi vida de la tuya se fue y encerrado aquí estoy sin ti pagando el error que cometí. I went looking for your loves Happy mornings, sweet memories, that where I am imprisoned I only have my feelings left. I went looking for you, early, and on that ribazo your lover was. I couldn't help but imagine what I would do that morning. Without feeling it I went to see him and without knowing it, I gave him death. So my life from yours was gone And locked up here, I'm without you paying for the mistake I made.
